You are a girl who grew up in Michigan, eventually settling in Velvet Cove. There you would make friends but eventually, in 1995, become close to four girls who would become your best friends: Autumn Lockhart, Nora Malakian, Kathryn “Kat” Mikaelsen, and Swann Holloway. You would also form the band “Bloom & Rage” where you would serve in any capacity your character is talented enough to utilize for the band. However, something happened that caused you to drift apart from them all. Now, it is 2022 and you are heading back to Velvet Cove to meet up with Swann, Autumn, and Nora to discuss what happened. Are you ready to face the past to restore the present…or will you let the shadows of what happened 27 years ago occur even now? It is up to you to decide.

It is during the heights of the Industrial Revolution on the islands of Japan. Taking place on the island country of Hinomoto, the people experienced a period of tranquility and growth until the plague of the kabane, which are humans turned into fast-acting corpses. You meet Mumei, previously known as Hozumi, at Aragane Station. You can be either human or a Kabaneri. It is up to you what your relationship with Mumei is…as well as the survival of everyone else you encounter.
